Since this prize is coming out of my own stash, only photos of blocks made from my original patterns (unaltered/unedited) PoD are eligible to win.

Why share via flickr? It's the best way for me to post your photos right here on fandominstitiches.com! Every Tuesday, we have a virtual show & tell called Tuesday Photos so everyone following along can see an entire week's picture in one place every Tuesday.

The May winner will receive a fat quarter of licensed Harry Potter themed fabric, collectible Order of the Phoenix bookmark set, a Fandom in Stitches button and enough Jelly Bean fabric for his or her Project of Doom quilt!

Useful Info...

About The Project of Doom:

For best results print with NO SCALING. In Google Drive (where this file is hosted) uncheck “fit to page..”See your printer instructions for more details if needed. Scale included on every page for your convenience.

On the actual pattern, WHITE indicates background fabric. All other colors are approximate representations (colors are intentionally light to save ink), but you are welcome to use any fabric colors you may choose.

You will need approximately 3 yards of background fabric for individual blocks plus optional quilt border. You'll also need various amounts of scrap fabrics for books and magical objects.

To complete your quilt, you will also need 1 yard of “shelf” fabric.100% quilting cotton is recommended for best results. Fabric amounts are for optional layouts finishing 61”x 78” - 63” x82”. Different quilt layouts may require more fabric.

This is the original Harry Potter-inspired Bookcase Quilt called The Project of Doom (PoD), designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein in 2011, but many of the patterns have received minor updates and all will now include a size scale so you can check your pattern size before you stitch.

There will be some alternative patterns presented. Some blocks will include alternative pieces and, in some cases, entire alternative blocks.

For those of you looking to create a Dark Arts version, I have plans for that, too!

The original patterns will continue to be available, so if you prefer to use the 2011 pattern, that's a-okay!

All Project of Doom patterns are 100% free and they will stay that way. These patterns are free for your personal and NON-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution. Sale of this pattern or quilts made from this pattern is prohibited.

About the Quilt Along:

Like the original Project of Doom, our 2015 Quilt Along will be one presented one quilt block a week (with an occasional bonus/alternative) on each Wednesday for 30 weeks.

Join the QAL at anytime during 2015 and work at your own pace. There is no penalty for starting late.

If you've already started your PoD quilt, you are more than welcome to join us! It helps on a project like this to be cheered along by friends!

.If you're looking to design your own PoD blocks...just you wait, we'll have a special week to share your patterns at the end of the Quilt Along!

If you've participated in events like this with me before, then you know that I LOVE signature quilts! I'd like to invite everyone participating in the 2015 Project of Doom Quilt Along to share a block for a special 2015 Signature Quilt. Names can be hand or machine embroidered, printed fabric, fabric pen, marker, or stenciled with fabric paint/pen, etc. are all acceptable. Please, no iron-ons or transfers. This quilt is my way of remembering everyone that quilted along in 2015!

If you have blocks to donate, you can get my mailing address from the Signature Block pattern(above). Donations to The Linus Connection are tax deductible in the U.S. If you'd like a receipt, please let me know when you send your blocks.

Hi Jennifer! I'm starting the POD QAL a bit late..I just finished 2 squares in the last 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I should be removing the paper from each individual square, or if it's better to leave it on until all the blocks are sewn together? Thanks!

Hi Whitney, welcome to the PoD! I usually wait until I piece the squares to the sashing, but it's really up to you. If you wanted to embroider titles on the books, for example, you'd want to remove the paper first. If you do take it off, just be very gentle so you don't stretch the raw edges of your fabric.
